Clemson QB commitment Deshaun Watson of Gainesville, GA, who recently was named by ESPN.com as the #1 quarterback prospect in the country in the junior class. has ended his recruiting and will not take any more visits. Watson told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that he is rock solid with his Clemson pledge. “I’m 100-percent solid with Clemson,” Watson said on Wednesday. “I’m not going to visit anybody else. I’m just going to focus on Clemson and my high school season. I’m not interested in going to visit anywhere.” Watson had visited several other schools this spring and was getting a particularly strong push from Urban Meyer at Ohio State who had personally taken over his recruiting. “I just found a place there (with Clemson) and I’m comfortable with the coaches,” Watson told the AJC. “I like the academics and it’s close to home. I just really want to focus on my senior year and focus on winning a state championship. I want to do something that no other quarterback in Gainesville history has ever done.” Going into his senior season, Watson has passed for 9360 yards and 108 touchdowns in his career, both prep records in Georgia.
